Great location. House was clean and with everything you would need for a family vacation. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Family came to visit and we had a wonderful time together. The house was perfect for entertaining because it has a large family room. The house was very clean and had adequate amenities for our use. We hope to do this again.

Comfortable home in a very convenient location to ferry.

My wife and I stay on the island 3 or 4 times a year and this is hands down the cleanest and nicest place. And when I say clean, it’s meticulous. Wonderful place!

Pat's house is perfect. It's new, has all of the features & amenities we were looking for, and is perfectly situated on Balboa Island.

Agate was was a great stay. Easy access, close to the water, and we did not have a parking problem. That’s not easy on Balboa Island. Quiet comfortable master and Light and airy living room. Able to walk the island within one block, easy walking to the Main Street for dining and shopping!

The house was beautiful and clean with an excellent location. The owner, Pat, is lovely and very accessible for any questions. Highly recommend.

We could not have enjoyed our stay here more. Pat was a warm, attentive host—always available if we needed anything but never intruded on our stay. The house was well equipped with thoughtful touches like beach accessories and extra towels and is on a relaxing, quiet street. We enjoyed our walks around the island and nightly trip out for a Balboa bar. 😊 We were grateful to stay here and made memories to last a lifetime!!

Home was beautiful and location was great

We loved our stay here. The place was very clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen. We had never been to Balboa Island before and loved walking around and going to the shops and restaurants. Pat, the owner, was great.

Everything was great. Wonderfully stocked with all our needs in mind. Very homey and comfortable.

Great home for family stay on the island. Clean throughout, rooms spacious and nice, open kitchen and family room.

Balboa Island is a wonderful vacation destination. The rental property is as described on Vrbo as to location, ammenities and property description. However a return to this unit is inconceivable. Although communication directly with the hostess was frequent ( she resided in the connected unit above the garage, for the duration of the stay) two serious issues found upon arrival were not corrected. The thermostat for the rental unit did not function and access to the controls was impossible. This was not rectified by a handyman replacing the thermostat battery. As a result, the air conditioner did not function for the entire six night stay. As a last resort, a fan was purchased for use in a bedroom where no ceiling fan was logicstically feasible. Additionally, the television in the main great room area had no reception for most of the stay. An attempt by the owner to correct this issue was temporary, at best. A discounted refund of the security deposit is not in dispute. The calibre and cost of the rental property commands properly functioning air conditioning as well as television reception. However a request for a partial refund of the fee paid was never addressed and since the only recourse is to give a fair and accurate review on Vrbo, the 3 star rating is justified.

First of all, Pay is a wonderful host, always available for a question, quick to respond. The house was very well appointed and we cooked big dinners each night. The house is located steps from N. Bay Front so easy walk into town and a straight shot down the street to the Balboa Ferry. Plenty of room for 7. Highly recommended for a great family vacation rental!

If you are trying decide.... look no further. This home is perfect. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Plenty of space, large rooms, AC! , and the bay just a block away. I’ve stayed at several houses through the years and this has been by far my favorite. Pat was wonderful to work with. We would love to come back!

The house was in great shape. Wish I could have stayed longer

We really enjoyed our two weeks in Pat’s (host) home. It is ideally set up for 2 families and is well equipped for little kids, beach goers (chairs, umbrella & towels), & cooks. 5G is an added attraction for people who still need to be online.

Excellent location and the house was well stocked with everything we needed Pat was a gracious host. It was a perfect place to celebrate our ❤️50th anniversary and Thanksgiving 🦃

We enjoyed the perfect stay for six weeks while our house was being renovated. Located on the quiet side of the island, with street parking generally available close by. We loved lounging on a small beach a couple doors down with the newer beach chairs and towels. Wifi was consistently good, which was essential for my husband, who was working in the back bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking, lots of pots, pans, and baking dishes. The clean, newer gas barbecue grill also came in handy. Furnishings were upscale, attractive and comfortable, especially the large sectional by the fireplace. The owner quickly responded to a couple questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay in this exceptional Balboa Island rental again!

Wonderful home in a great location on Balboa Island. Clean, upscale, well-stocked, great layout, friendly host. Beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was much needed and is highly recommended feature. Open and airy layout with beautiful picture windows. We would definitely stay here again.
